og vs remake? both! i like them both. remake is a wonderful homage to the old game. i like the different endings.
why sh2 over the other silent hill games? i like all of the silent hill games and originally i almost planned to make a general sh shrine, but i wanted to go into more depth about 2 since it's my favorite. i just prefer it more with the themes, but 3 is very close. sh2 is like a worldbuilding game about what it's like to be someone else outside of directly/indirectly dealing with the cult that gets caught in the curse over the town.
